hi im after a good brake upgrade!
i cant seem to get hold of any cbr600 rr3/4 calipers!
but what other calipers fit other than cb1300,sp1 and cbr600 rr3/4? alot of cbr look to have the same sort of fixing points and threads? looking for the nissin calipers with the 6 bolts if that helps?
thanks david
ps i know about the master cylinder ratios and size differences i am just looking for calipers at the moment!

Cbr900 calipers were the same as rvf up until 1999, then went to the later style you're after on the 2000 cbr929.

I have an RRW. I just fit 900RR1/2 gold calipers. They fit perfectly and work perfectly.

Therefore these would do you fine:

The only difference is they aren't a cool gold colour and don't have teflon coated slippery lightweight ally pistons, but traditional steel. Although actually when I looked at the calipers I was taking off, they looked in really good condition on the pistons with no rust. Either just because they don't need road salt here (Spain) or maybe the pistons aren't basic chrome steel. Dunno, never checked it and the calipers are sold now.

The 900 had RVF calipers 92-97, silver large calipers 98-99 and gold large calipers 00-03, then after that radials on the 1000RR.

Doesn't matter about the rotor size, this was adjusted by using different fork leg lowers.

I've fitted 750K2 calipers, RR2 calipers and original calipers to 96 fork legs; original calipers and RR2 calipers to 98 fork legs.

The Tokicos may fit but they're wank, leave them alone.

I bought silver RRX calipers and fitted them to my brackets - they had a sweep area for 310mm..

I bought some other CBR6FX calipers..they are fine on the brackets.

What is the ratio of the front master cylinder?

I've just got some good condition sp1 calipers for £38!!!! and wanted to know the ratio as I may look at a fancy master cylinder.
